What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, the charity provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

You will take increasing ownership of sessions and activities, while continuing to develop your practice with support from senior staff. This role bridges the gap between support delivery and leadership, offering a pathway into more senior youth work roles. The three core outcomes of this role are to: Improve young people's wellbeing and emotional resilience. Reduce risky behaviours by offering trusted support and positive alternatives. Increase aspiration and help young people feel valued, connected, and hopeful about their future. Key Responsibilities: Delivery & Engagement Plan and deliver youth work sessions, both independently and as part of a team. Build consistent, trusting relationships with young people (aged 11-25).

Safeguarding & Administration Maintain accurate records, including registers and incident logs. Identify and appropriately respond to safeguarding concerns. Follow organisational policies on safeguarding, confidentiality, and health & safety. About You You are someone who genuinely cares about young people, about fairness, and about creating spaces where people feel safe to be themselves. You are someone who is developing confidence in your youth work practice and is ready to take the next step in responsibility and impact. You will bring: Proven experience working with young people aged 11-25, particularly those who may feel excluded, marginalised, or unheard. A strong ability to build authentic, trusting relationships. High levels of empathy, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. Confidence in holding space for young people's emotions without judgement or agenda. Resilience, warmth, and a calm presence, even in challenging moments. A belief in young people's potential, even when they struggle to see it themselves. Be a self-starter who can work independently while being a supportive team member. Feel comfortable contributing ideas and shaping new ways of working. Share TAB's values around safeguarding, ethics, and the wellbeing of young people and communities. Experience working with young people (approx. 1-3+ years). Ability to build positive, professional relationships. Growing confidence in leading sessions and engaging groups. Understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries. Good communication and teamwork skills. Willingness to reflect, learn, and develop. Relevant youth work qualification or equivalent (or working towards one). Experience with outreach or detached youth work. Experience supporting young people with additional needs or facing barriers. What We Offer By joining TAB, you will become part of a passionate, reflective, and supportive team that values creativity, learning, and human connection. We will invest in you through high-quality supervision, training, and the freedom to innovate. This is a role for someone who wants to do youth work with heart-someone who understands that real change starts with trust, time, and being truly present. Benefits include: 5 weeks holiday per year pro rata + public holidays pro rata. NEST employer pension scheme. A competitive salary and benefits package. Opportunities for professional development and training. A supportive and inclusive work environment. The chance to make a real difference in the lives of young people and the community.

You will bring: Proven experience working with young people aged 11-25, particularly those who may feel excluded, marginalised, or unheard. A strong ability to build authentic, trusting relationships. High levels of empathy, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. Confidence in holding space for young people's emotions without judgement or agenda. Resilience, warmth, and a calm presence, even in challenging moments. A belief in young people's potential, even when they struggle to see it themselves. Be a self-starter who can work independently while being a supportive team member. Feel comfortable contributing ideas and shaping new ways of working. Share TAB's values around safeguarding, ethics, and the wellbeing of young people and communities.
